I Cried Out

I cried out to the Lord,
He saw my many tears;
He calmed my raging spirit,
And chased away my ugly fears.

He gave me strength to keep going,
He gave me peace to get through the day;
He told me that He loved me,
And to wait quietly for His way.

God is good all the time,
And all the time He is good;
He always hears my prayers,
Even when His ways aren't understood.

When despair was filling my soul,
And the tears would not end;
God held me in His arms,
And, to my needs, He did attend.

The Lord sees me through the storms,
On Him I can always rely;
He keeps me covered in His love,
So my hope will never die.
